BROLUX Walnut Art Deco Bakelite Backplate

Not since the 1930’s have these (what were) PERMAX patented Bakelite door handles and door knobs been available as new. The BROLUX pieces have been modelled on the original early 20th century PERMAX parts. These incorporated a very clever brass flange that allows the knob (or handle) to be secured to the back-plate without the need for the usual grub screws. (We think this is a sort-of luxury not to need the grub screws to attach the knob or lever handle to the spindle. This gave us the idea to use the name Brolux)Please note, the BROLUX collection is not interchangeable with BROLITE. As far as we know, PERMAX only produced one style of backplate with a matching door knob or lever handle. We are producing BROLUX available as spare parts or in sets in Walnut or Black. Brass flange is not includedParts: Backplate only (with or without keyhole), Door Knob only, Lever Handle only, Brass Flange and 6” x 5/16” plain spindle.Measurements:

Period Door Hardware

Over the years, I have collected an extensive range of period door hardware from medieval locks right through to 60`s coloured plastic handles. One of my all-time favourites are the Bakelite handles and knobs from the 30`s 40`s 50`s and 60`s, in particular the early Art Deco sets.
